Update: Taiwanese company HTC on Thursday launched its flagship phone of the year, the HTC 10 in India. Globally launched on April 12, the '10' is HTC's answer to Samsung's Galaxy S7 (and S7 Edge) and LG's G5.

HTC's latest One-range phone comes sans the One (as well as the 'M') moniker and is simply called the HTC 10. The HTC 10 is ailing HTC's answer to the Galaxies and the G5s of the world. After failing to make an impression with its previous flagship phone, the company will be looking to make a comeback and set cash counters ticking. About time, we say! Whether or not the HTC 10 would end up being the ticket to fame (redemption mostly) that it needs oh so badly is yet to be seen.

For now, here's everything to know about the new HTC 10, the latest and greatest phone from the Taiwanese tech giant.
